I read Emily of New Moon when I was 10. I wasn't the first Canadian girl to love Emily because I wanted to be a writer, and I'm not the first to blame Emily for becoming a writer. But I'm not sure if anyone else did this: when I decided to write seriously, I took the summer off and went to PEI where Emily (and Lucy Maude) had grown up.
That's an excerpt from a guest blog at Chatelaine. It was so much fun to think about and write–do have a look over there.
Which of the 5 would you pick to read?
